My husband, daughter (aged 12) and I spent 1 week at Suites Alba in mid July. The hotel is definitely remote and down a rather windy single track road. Most people tended to have cars, we didn't, but ordered taxis via reception and travelled to nearby places (Carvoeiro not too impressive, but Portimao we thought was a lovely traditional place).... more

We loved our stay in Suites Alba - the suites were extremely comfortable and spacious, although the shower could be improved on. Service was exemplary, and very friendly. The nearby beach was lovely, with picturesque grottoes and caves....but it was hard to leave the beautiful salt water infinity pool. Spa treatments were all of a very high standard - especially... more

This is the place to just get back to normality. The whole place is so peaceful and relaxing. We wanted a week of total calm and we got it. The suites are lovely, the staff attentive to a fault and the whole experience is just one of peace in a world of mayhem. Wonderful walks, and the quiet is deafening!... more

Well, a lot of good things (and a great setting and nice courtyard) but too many poor things to justify the high price. Suite was very spacious and well equipped but shower was a disaster and the bath tiny. Why have DVD players in the suites but only 2 DVD's that you can borrow (both childrens) but they do have... more

We had a wonderful time in the hotel because of - the lovely appartments (high standard and quality), - the good service, and - the lovely food (restaurant and room service, except for the salads). Would recommend it any time and return. We had a car which is absolutely necessary if you plan to see the Algarve. more

Is a very nive hotel, the suites are fantastic, restaurant is good but a litle expensive and the location is beutiful. Is not near town and a litle bir isolated. For me is very good in summer time because the pool is nice, very calm and good for a relaxion holidays. more

This hotel was okay. I am not sure that it is a five star hotel - food was not great. I have looked at other reviews and I feel that we certainly did not get same service. You need a car definitey. Nearby beach is lovely but hotel does not have dircet access you climb down side of hill-so be... more

We have just returned from a 7 day chritsmas break at the Alba Suites, the staff could not have been more helpful the managerss greeted us on arrival. The suites themselves are extremely luxurious with plasma tvs in each room and a dvd player in the lounge, luxury bed linen and a seemingly endless supply of towels. The suites are... more

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for 5 nights in October, unfortunately we got the worse weather you could possibly imagine in Portugal - we had solid rain for 4 days out of the 5!. We travel very frequently to sun locations throughout the year so this was a different holiday to what we had imagined. We arrived... more
